What I mean is that if I look AT the varimagni finder device itself, (not INTO
the
finder to see an image,) then looking at the end that connects to the
camera viewfinder, I see one of two lenses, each with a fixed aperture,
depending on the setting of the magnification setting lever. The aperatures
are mechanically positioned within the round opening in the housing,
and mechanical esthetics would lead me to expect that they would be
centered within the round housing opening. One of the aperatures
is, the larger one for the 2.5x setting, and the other isn't, by a lot.
I hope that makes it clearer. (My description that is)
